Definitions

  • the invention relates to a manufacturing process for a gravure paper with a maximal roughness depth of approximately 1.40 ⁇ m (measured with the “Parker Print Surf” method according to DIN-ISO 8791-4).
  • the invention also relates to a gravure paper which is manufactured in a single work cycle.
  • the filler content or the pigment content of the fibrous material suspension must be kept as high as possible. This is because these very fine materials produce a very smooth and homogeneous surface of the paper.
  • a fibrous material is used which has as high a beating degree as possible in order to produce a homogeneous sheet texture by utilizing the high content of fines. The uniformity and closed nature of the paper surface are of particular significance.
  • gravure paper is in part manufactured so that coating-base paper is produced as a highly tear-resistant paper whose surface is coated with pigment and filler material in order to obtain a sufficient surface quality.
  • this requires a high investment outlay because, in addition to the paper machine required for producing the paper, an investment must also be made in a coating machine, which may function either on-line or off-line in relation to the paper manufacturing process.
  • the beating degree of fibrous material is frequently expressed in milliliters as Canadian Standard Freeness (CSF).
  • CSF Canadian Standard Freeness
  • a high beating degree i.e., a high fineness of the fibrous material or a high drainage resistance
  • a lower beating degree corresponds to a high CSF value or a low drainage resistance.
  • a headbox supplies a number of fibrous suspension streams to a web forming device in which, in order to produce a three-layer fibrous material web, the two outer layers are produced by utilizing two fibrous suspension streams whose composition is selected so that each outer layer is subsequently easier to drain than the inner layer, which is produced by providing a fibrous suspension stream with a correspondingly different composition.
  • the specific information relating to the composition of the individual fibrous suspension flows is not given in this document.
  • the invention is therefore provides for a manufacturing process for gravure papers which is distinguished by a significantly more favorable energy expense and fibrous material utilization as well as a lower investment requirement than is customary in the prior art,
  • the invention also provides for a gravure paper which, as a result of its manufacturing process, is less expensive to produce than in the prior art.
  • the invention recognizes that it is possible to produce a gravure paper by using a fibrous material that has a low beating degree with values of greater than approximately 50 ml CSF, preferably between approximately 50 ml and approximately 120 ml CSF, without having to use a coating machine in either an “on-line” or “off-line” operation. Moreover, it is possible to situate the majority of the filler or pigment content of the finished paper web in the immediate vicinity of the surface of the finished paper web, such that, on the one hand, the tear strength of the gravure paper produced is increased and, on the other hand, the maximal surface roughness depth of the paper is not impaired. At the same time, however, the manufacturing process also takes place in one work cycle.
  • the dry matter content of the fibrous material web on which the filler and/or the pigment is deposited is approximately ⁇ 90%, preferably between approximately 3% to approximately 55%, and most preferably between approximately 5% to approximately 20%, since only in this way can a favorable bonding of the filler or the pigment to the fibrous material web be achieved.
  • a process for manufacturing gravure paper with a maximal roughness depth of approximately 1.40 ⁇ m which includes producing a stock suspension that has a stock with a freeness (i.e., measure for the beating degree) of greater than or equal to approximately 50 ml CSF (i.e., Canadian Standard Freeness), preferably between approximately 50 ml to approximately 120 ml CSF, and most preferably between approximately 50 ml to approximately 80 ml CSF, producing a fibrous material web using this stock suspension with the aid of a forming system, a first press section, and a drying section, applying at least one pigment and/or filler slurry to the unfinished fibrous material web in the vicinity between the beginning of the forming and a position at which a dry matter content of the fibrous material web is approximately ⁇ 90%, and preferably between approximately 3% and approximately 50%, with the fibrous material content in the pigment and/or filler slurry preferably lying in the range from approximately 2% to approximately 60%, and preferably
  • a freeness i.e
  • the filler content is essentially concentrated in the layers that are close to the surface or that constitute the surface, since these layers are important for printing.
  • This also allows for a low filler content in the center of the sheet, which contributes to the favorable tear strength of the paper, such that, by utilizing the additional reduction of the beating degree in comparison to the prior art to a beating degree of greater than approximately 50 ml CSF, an increase in the tear strength of the paper is also achieved. This also leads to the web attaining better runability through the paper machine and thereafter also through a printing machine.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the manufacturing process provides that after the at least one application of pigment and/or filler slurry, a passage through a press occurs. This passage through a press increases the bonding of the pigment and/or the filler coating to the fibrous material web.
  • the manufacturing process can be used on one side of the fibrous material web as well as on both sides of the fibrous material web so that the pigment and/or filler slurry can also be deposited on both sides of the fibrous material web.

  • the application of the pigment and/or filler slurry can also take place through a wire and onto a paper web which is already relatively tear-resistant in order to reduce the potential of a possible web tear in the manufacturing process and therefore in order to increase the effective running time of the paper machine.
  • Advantageous values for the total coating weight of the at least one coating of the pigment and/or filler slurry on each side of the paper web is a moisture-free weight of from approximately 0.5 to approximately 10.0 g/m 2 , and preferably from approximately 1.0 to approximately 10 g/m 2 .
  • the manufacturing process is not solely limited to the application of a filler and/or pigment slurry to an already existing fibrous material web, but the gravure paper can also be produced according to the invention with a maximal surface roughness depth of approximately 1.40 ⁇ m by virtue of the fact that a stock suspension is produced which has a fibrous material with a freeness (i.e., measure for the beating degree) of greater than or equal to approximately 50 ml CSF, preferably between approximately 50 ml to approximately 120 ml CSF, and most preferably between approximately 50 ml to approximately 80 ml CSF, simultaneously a filler and/or pigment suspension is produced, with the fibrous material/fines content in the pigment and/or filler suspension preferably lying in the range of between approximately 10% to approximately 95%, and preferably between approximately 30% to approximately 60%.

Then comes the formation of a paper web with the aid of a forming system, a press section, and a drying section, such that no subsequent coating of the paper web is required.
  • This process according to the invention also achieves the fact that in the outer layer to be printed or in the two outer layers, there is a very high filler and/or pigment content while, in the one fiber-containing layer, or in the inner layer, there are fibers with a relatively low beating degree that corresponds to greater than approximately 50 ml CSF, and preferably in the range from approximately 50 ml to approximately 100 ml CSF, so that a very favorable tear strength of the paper web is assured here.
